Members xlr8tn Posted November 9, 2008 Members Report Posted November 9, 2008 I am interested in learning how to make a pair of shoes. I first need to get a shoe last but do not have any information on where to find this sort of thing. Anyone have a contact on where to purchase one. Does anyone have a good link to patterns and books on making a shoes or boots? thanks, Brent Quote

Leather Bum Posted December 20, 2008 Report Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) I've wanted to make shoes before, too. Here are some links to sites I've seen and come across in the past.

Members mattsh Posted December 20, 2008 Members Report Posted December 20, 2008 For shoe lasts check out www.walrusshoe.com. I too want to make shoes and from another forum I found that site. I have not ordered anything yet, but I would really like to try making a pair of shoes. It looks incredibly interesting. There is a guy on youtube that has a username MarcelHun. He has done several videos of how he makes shoes. He is a bespoke shoe maker in Hungary.
